Bruce Springsteen is to re-release his fifth album ‘The River’ as part of a new collection.

‘The Ties That Bind: The River Collection’ will be released December 4th, containing the original double album, a documentary about ‘The River’ and unreleased material.

As well as that, fans of The Boss can enjoy a coffee table book of rare photos and memorabilia, as well as a DVD  of his infamous 1980 show in Tempe, Arizona.

“The Ties That Bind” is a brand new 60-minute documentary produced and directed by Zimny that features an intimate interview with Springsteen as he reflects on the tumultuous period writing and recording ‘The River.’

‘The River’ was released on October 17 in 1980, and reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

In an essay written for the collection, American music journalist Mikal Gilmore says The River is Springsteen’s “pivotal album—[the] hinge between the ambitious commotions that had preceded it and the more succinct musical riots, and sometimes terrifying storytelling, that followed.”

‘The Ties That Bind: The River Collection’ is available for pre-order at Amazon (4CD/3DVDs or 4CD/2Blu-ray) and iTunes.
